Andrew Jones’ time in charge of Racing Victoria has lasted less than two years, with the announcement he has left the chief executive role with immediate effect.
Aaron Morrison, who has been chief operations officer under Jones, will assume the role of interim chief executive while a search for a replacement is found.
A statement from Racing Victoria confirmed Jones’ departure was timed to give a new board, led by a new chairman, widely expected to be former AFL chief executive McLachlan, a chance to choose a new executive team.
“Having served under two chairmen, my resignation makes way for the new chair and board to select a new CEO to take Racing Victoria forward into the future,” Jones said.
“I came to the role with a clear view on the challenges facing the industry, and I leave knowing I left nothing on the table.”
